So you want to tie someone up.

That's always my motto too. You and ID clearly rub each other the wrong way, and that's understandable. Some people just affect us that way. All I'd like to say is I always enjoy reading what you both have to say, when you're not bickering. I regard you both as more friends than acquaintances, as I'm sure many other people here do also. So, to see you both leading each other on is akin to watching two friends argue, and the unpleasantness of that makes me feel uncomfortable. You're welcome to tell me to mind my own business, and I'll not ever mention it again, but I did want to air my feelings.

PS: The "Oh yes you did!" ... "Oh no I didn't!" exchanges early on were actually quite funny, in a Monty Python kind of way.

First of all, there’s really no reason why you need to mind your own business. This is a public forum and everything here is, well, public. If it’s a matter I post publicly and tell you to MYOB I probably should have posted it privately in the first place.

And regarding the issue that seems to be between ID and myself, most have been instigated by some pet peeves mine being triggered combined with the fact that some of these are being directed at me in some way. I usually don’t get involved in issues not related to me unless they are particularly obnoxious.

Things are toned down here quite a bit. I have been known to let out a few verbal equivalents of my avatar among friends that would probably get me banned here. I’m sorry if it makes you feel a bit uncomfortable but I don’t think it should make you feel too bad. Mainly because it’s been more like an argument rather than irrational name calling and verbal ill will.

The "Oh yes you did!" ... "Oh no I didn't!" exchanges are kind of funny as well, but are mainly a result of me trying to let the issue die in my own “I’m not letting you get away with that one” sort of way. This would work, except ID is a bit like myself in this regard, so it doesn’t. I wouldn’t normally do so and would instead get it out of the way directly, but there are other private motivators that lead me to want to do this.
